UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos did exactly what most of us expected at UFC 146, knocking Frank Mir senseless to retain his title. But the all-heavyweight main card did have some surprises and a whole lot of stoppages. Richard and John review the weekend's festivities and also look ahead to The Ultimate Fighter Live Finale on Saturday.
The TUF Live card features a main event between Jake Ellenberger and Martin Kampmann. More interestingly, TUF finalists Michael Chiesa and Al Iaquinta will compete for the top spot with only one week of rest. It's an odd quirk resulting from the live format versus the pre-recorded fights from prior seasons. Should the UFC let the TUF finalists get some rest so they can be in peak form on the finale? Or should they ignore that issue and let TV promotion dictate the schedule? We go into that plenty since John didn't schedule any guests this week, but be on the lookout next week for some UFC fighter interviews.
